It's showing you that you don't need to be bitten to turn. You just have to die. Everyone's infected and death by any means triggers the turn.

but if that's true, wouldn't Dale have come back to life as a zombie?

The infection requires that the brain be intact to function. There's a little bit of this in "TS-19" and doubtless more in the comic. Randall's snapped neck = ok, Dale (shot in the face by Daryl) not so much.

In addition, Rick knew this all along. It's highly likely that it's what Jenner whispered to him at the CDC (which, we'll find out next week), which is why Rick shot that one dude in the head at the bar even though he was clearly dead from being shot in the chest.

hershell used console commands to unlock unlimited ammo for quite a while. shot ~15 rounds or so and never reloaded. or he used up, down, left, left, right to reload instantly.and how did he get that stylish jacket halfway through? swag to the max. zombie apocalypse? *bleep* protection, i'd rather have SWAG.

really curious about the hooded guy though, looked awesome.and was that a compound in the distance at the end? shouldn't they have seen that shit in the daylight? or am i seeing things...

Spoiler:but besides that

edit: found out it was a prison. thought it was a castle at first, would have been so much cooler if it was.

Lori is so goddamn stupid. "Shane is out of control. You need to stop him". Rick kills Shane after he had tried to kill him once before and was attempting a second time. Rick tells Lori. "You're a monster. How could you do that?! RAWR". Typical stupid hysterical woman. On The Talking Dead, Robert Kirkman said she wasn't angry at Rick, but that she was angry at herself for what happened to Shane, but she's blaming Rick because she put him in the situation that she caused. Seriously, just kill this bitch off now. And if it wasn't for the awesome debut, Andrea should have died there. That would have been rewarding to see her stupid character killed off, especially after re-watching the marathon today and being reminded what an idiot she is, like the part where she shot Daryl and how much of a bitch she was to Dale practically the entire season.

Best part about this episode other than a bunch of extras getting killed off, seeing the Prison and Michonne.

LMAO, my girlfriend and I were wondering the same goddamn thing. How many shots did he actually take without reloading?! hahaha. The jacket was just bonus lulz.

That was a woman with a katana named Michonne. Big fan favorite in the comics. She'll be a prominent role in season 3. The reason we didn't see her face was because they didn't have an actress signed on to play her yet, though Kirkman later announced who it was on The Talking Dead a half hour after the finale ended.

Aaaaaaand...the complex was a prison. I just began reading the prison arc in the comics and some serious shit goes down there. I'm pumped for next season.

Edit: Also, Lori is a stupid bitch. Her and Carl need to disappear from the show soon. I don't know what becomes of them/the baby in the comics, but as far as I'm concerned, she should miscarriage resulting in a zombie baby tearing through her and somehow eating Carl as well. That's my overly exaggerated theory.
